    That was an absolutely fascinating presentation! I love how he ties heavy drinking in the industrial revolution to the early TV sitcom, and then MMOs, lolcats and Wikipedia. Humans are evolving. :) Thank you for sharing.

    Hey! Thanks for your talk at FoWA ’08 in London last week, it was awesome and spot on and now I’m a huge fan of your work.

    I’ve done some doodle notes of all the speakers – http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaichanvong/2932392082/in/set-72157607943518388/ :D

    Enjoy!
